Genesis 34-36
This year, I plan on reading the Old Testament of the Bible within the 2012 calendar year. Follow me on this journey! Please, if you have questions or comments... let me know!
Scripture Thought (What I Learned):
Chapter 35: God Blesses Jacob
God tells Jacob to go to Bethel and make an altar unto him. The Lord appears unto Jacob and re-affirms that his new name will be Israel and that he will still have a great nation be born of him. Jacob sets up his altar and makes a drink offering, which included oil.
Rachel conceives an new son and calls him Ben-oni, but the labor what difficult and she dies while giving birth, Jacob names his son: Benjamin. Rachel is buried in Ephrath which is at Beth-lehem, underneath a pillar that Jacob built.
· The sons of Leah: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun
· The sons of Rachel: Joseph, Benjamin
· The sons of Bilhah (Rachel's handmaid): Dan, Naphtali
· The sons of Zilpah (Leah's handmaid): Gad, Asher
All of these twelve sons, were born to Jacob in the land of Padan-aram. Chapter 35 ends with the death of Isaac, Esau and Jacob bury him.
